It’s important to use an adhesive that is specifically designed for non-woven wallpaper, rather than one made for vinyl. Vinyl wallpapers require a different type of adhesive, which isn’t suitable for non-woven materials. As all of our wallpapers are non-woven, we strongly advise double-checking that your adhesive is intended for non-woven wallpaper to ensure the best possible result.
2. Prepare the Wall
Move any furniture and cover the floor to protect it.
Remove old wallpaper and fill any holes or cracks. Sand the surface until smooth.
Wash the wall with mild soap and water, then let it dry completely.
If the wall is glossy or very absorbent, apply a primer or wall sealer for best results.
3. Measure and Mark
Choose your starting point near a door or corner. Start from left to right.
Use a level or plumb line to draw a straight vertical guide line on the wall. This ensures the first strip is perfectly straight.
4. Cut and Arrange Wallpaper
Lay out your wallpaper strips in the correct order.
Make sure the pattern flows across the panels.
Cut each strip to the height of the wall, leaving a few extra centimeters at the top and bottom for trimming.
5. Apply Adhesive (For Non-Woven Wallpaper)
Use paste/glue suitable for non-woven wallpaper.
Apply the paste directly to the wall using a roller or brush.
Work in sections, covering about one or two strip widths at a time.
6. Hang the First Strip
Place the first strip along your guide line, starting at the top with a slight overhang.
Smooth the wallpaper from the center outward using a smoothing brush or plastic smoother to remove air bubbles.
7. Add the Remaining Strips
Align the next strip edge to edge, without overlapping.
Match the pattern carefully and press the seams firmly.
Wipe away any excess paste with a clean, damp sponge.
8. Trim Excess
Once the strip is secure, trim the excess wallpaper at the top and bottom using a sharp knife and a straight edge.
Repeat with each panel.
9. Final Touches
Smooth over the entire wall once more to ensure good adhesion.
Let the wallpaper dry with good airflow.
10. Around Outlets and Switches
Turn off the electricity at the main switch.
Loosen or remove outlet or switch covers.
Carefully cut the wallpaper around the opening and smooth the edges under the cover.
Reattach the cover once the wallpaper is in place.
